Exercise 1: Plate Tectonic Boundaries and Volcanoes Step 1: Gather the necessary materials to complete this exercise – see slide 3 at the start of this overview packet. Step 2: Review the diagram below. Then, answer questions A - M on the following three slides. Record your answers on a sheet of paper. There are four different types of plate tectonic boundaries represented in the diagram below. Each of them are labeled – A, B, C, and D– and the white arrows in the diagram represent the direction of lithospheric or tectonic plate movement. Boundary C Boundary A Feature Z Feature X Volcano R Boundary B Boundary D Oceanic Crust Continental Crust Lithosphere Subducting Plate Magma (molten rock) Asthenosphere Subducting Plate
